3. Assembly of Choker
Lay out your choker base. Arrange the roses, rose buds, and leaves along the central front portion of the choker, asymmetrically but balanced, mirroring the image.
Carefully sew each crocheted element securely to the choker base using your tapestry needle and matching thread. Hide all tails.
Sew the two butterflies onto the choker, one on each side, slightly above the main floral cluster, mimicking their position in the image.
Attach the teardrop crystal bead directly below the central pink rose with a jump ring or by sewing it securely with fine thread.
At each end of the choker base, attach a jump ring. To one jump ring, attach your chosen clasp.
Weave in any remaining loose ends. Consider applying fabric stiffener to the roses, leaves, and especially the butterflies to help them maintain their shape, following product instructions.
